Waffleflower May Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

5May

Good morning! I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the fabulous May release from Waffle Flower Stamps! Today I’m sharing a card using the beautiful Wild Roses stamp set!

To start I stamped the flowers and foliage from Wild Roses onto watercolor paper with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I watercolored them with Mission Gold watercolors. After laying down a few layers of paint I went back in with a dark purple paint to add some contrast and shadow. I’m always a little nervous adding such dark tones to my projects but I love the results afterwards!! I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and added a few accents with a white gel pen.

Next I painted an ombre watercolor background using a hot pink paint to match the bright flowers. I splattered it with water and let it dry before adhering it to a top-folding card base. I stamped the sentiment from Sentiment Labels onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before die-cutting it with the coordinating die. Then I adhered the flowers and sentiment to the ombre panel with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. Finally I finished the card with a few white and clear enamel dots and a little crystal glaze on the flower centers!

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my card and it gives you some inspiration for these gorgeous new florals!

I had a bit of an ‘a ha’ moment in my craft room last night that makes me wonder why it never occurred to me earlier... 🤦🏻‍♀️ I almost exclusively reach for my distress oxides these days though I’ve continued storing my regular distress inks right next to my work surface. My oxides aren’t far away but they’re far enough to be uncomfortable for a short girl with short arms to easily reach. 😂 So last night I thought to myself, why don’t I just switch them...and the result is so convenient!!! ❤️❤️❤️ These are custom 80 pad units from @organizemore that fit both my distress inks and the reinkers bottles BUT if you’re in the market for storage, two of their most popular organizers are on sale for the next few days with the code INK19! 😉
